I was initially considering a bioactive tank for the bp that I don't have yet... so, I did some research into it (googling, and the forum here). If you haven't read it already, here's a thread I started regarding that:

There's a few people on here that have the bioactive setup... one who particularly comes to mind is Slither Sleeker. I really don't recall his exact setup, and too tired to read through the thread, but I think he might have had his setup in a glass tank. Either way, it looks like most bioactive are in a glass tank or one of those exo-terra glass enclosures.
I'm still new to snakes in general, having researching, and slowly setting up the enclosures since February of this year, and only obtaining my first snake last week. That was one of the reason I decided to backup a bit, first learn about keeping the snakes the way most people tend to, and then maybe later I will approach the bioactive topic again. Definitely would love to go bioactive.
